Hi,

What I understand from your question is that your previous acne problem was exacerbated by your recent met use. Meth is very damaging to the skin, as it affects blood circulation and supply to the skin, and it can be even more damaging on pre-existent skin problems. So, giving up using it is the sensible thing to do. Besides good hydration, healthy food rich in fruit and vegetables, Vitamin C, B5 and B12 supplement.

I recommend you see a dermatologist, who will most likely give you a prescription for an antibiotic ointment in order to treat and prevent reinfection. Wishing you good health and all the best.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ornela Ademovi
